Hey /fa/: /fit/izen here.

How did Brad Pitt get his hair to stay like that in Troy?
>inb4 hollywood money/effects
>inb4 the thread on the first page I just lurked in about grills not liking long hair.

I'm 5'11", so I'm a manlet, but I'm in between Brad Pitt in Fight Club and him in Troy (leaning towards his size in Troy). My hair isn't that long yet (5"), but already I've got compliments about how it looks, but admittedly, it's at that shitty length where it's long enough to be pushed back with forming cream (the American Crew shit), but short enough so that it falls down a ways during my workouts/after a long day.

This is my first time posting on /fa/, so an obligatory "n-no homo" and also apologies for not reading the sticky/if I'm breaking any of your protocols here.
>implying I give a shit

>inb4 none of you guys reply with helpful comments
>inb4 OP can't inb4

Oh, and if you guys want any /fit/ advice, I'll be glad to offer it. I've been lifting/eating optimally for 8 months now and started as skinny fat. Thanks

If you have to use product to put it back then you don't have the type of hair for it. Wash less?

I was just thinking about that earlier. I normally shower/shampoo everyday (stopped with the conditioner), but today I just rinsed it and it seemed, I dunno, firmer? Thanks for the advice.

And as for dem hips, I've never heard that I have wide hips, even by /fit/ standards, but yes, bigger lats will contribute to your V-taper and will draw away from your hips if they are wide. Pic would help because it seems like everyone with hips wider than Zyzz's thinks they could give birth.

>For you
Definitely the best workout for lats IMO

If you use the right products, it shouldn't be obvious at all. Buy a can of Bed Head and try it for yourself. If you're pushing your hair back like a Slavic drug lord, you might want to side-part it.

>> No.6696996

Serious answer

Brad's hair was tied back in locks. Usually with leather strips. This gave the hair enough weight to stay laying backwards. Even without the leather strips, his hair was trained to stay in the same shape.

As for products, he either did not wash his hair often, or he used a bit of pomade.

Google pictures of him in Troy, you will see.

I do side part it because of that very reason. And thanks for pointing out a specific product.

And I forgot to mention in the OP:
In some scenes it looks like he has a hair tie or something for the middle part of his hair/bangs that he uses to pull back his hair.

Absolutely not, those are retarded.

Shoulder-width is definitely best, either palms toward you (Chin-up) or away (Pull-up).

shit nigger, what?

Have you ever done a pull up in your life? Wide-gripped pull-ups are much more focused on lats. Stand up, arms over your head, and simulate pull ups (pronated) with both close and wide grips. If you want that lat flare, wide grips are king.

Wide-gripped pull-ups put you at a mechanical disadvantage which is the only reason why they're a little harder than regular pull/chin-ups.

Shoulder-width is king.

dude this basically backs up your claim, good call. I was definitely wrong about the range of motion.
>not peer reviewed, but whatever, proof is proof

I had always thought/noticed that wide grip pull ups required you to pull up with your lats more than your arms/shoulders. When I do pull ups, I start the motion with the lats rather than the biceps.

No worries mate, I used to believe the same thing.

I usually referenced that popular picture of columbu doing a wide-gripped p-u to back me up, lel.

But yeah, plus doing it with shoulder width allows you to use some serious weight when doing them, so you make crazy gainz. I'm at 3 sets of 6-8 reps with 55lbs added.

Don't let /fa/ warp your perception, dumbass. You're above the average. If you feel like you're average or less when you're around others, then you're probably not 5'11.
